Various literary (critical) theories are applied for the interpretation of literary works. Theories or principles of science and socio-anthroplogy are no exception. As one of the new interdiscplinary trends, the corrrelation of cognitive science to literary theories is the case. Supposing that wastes, pollution, and taboos are out of their proper order, they lose their existential value and proper position. However, even though they are as a status of margin in a certain system or society, and if they serve enough to fully understand and have an access to a system or a society, surely they should have their own imperative. Mary Douglas, Michael Thompson, and Marshall McLuhan stand for it.
Douglas indicates that trivial things are essentials for the structure of the whole frame, and Thompson also points out that if the rubbish turn into the durables, they will have litlle by little the sustaining values and everlasting existence in the flow of time. saying that the temporary things or objects quite reverse in the flow time Together with them, McLuhan puts that if cliches present themselves in the surface of a certain culture, they become the archetype of its category, then they have their own sustenance. Such socio-anthropological views do correspond to the establishment of the certainty of the meaning. Thus, these views have their objective as the proof of semiotic research methodology. it is because Michael Riffaterre has it that routine expressions and stereotyped phrases, as an aspect of culture, become significant and tells that the function of poetry is the sophisicated metamorphoses of cliches and descriptive sysrems.
Therefore, as in socio-anthropology, no center, but margin has significance, and that in semiotics categories are emphasized in the restructure of inner world or a system, so, noise, equivocation, and redundancy are considered important in sending a message in information theory. It is resonant in literary texts. A literary text is full of much information, To put that a literary text is full of information is that, in a word, it has a big lump of information with noise, namely, equivocation, redundancy, and ambiguity.
Such a noise, in a word, is manifested in the process of representing objects or describing scenes or characters in terms of language. Literary devices like as digression, catalogues, lists, and implosion, sludge of language are such effects.
To prove that, I propose, as an example. Donald Barthelme's novel, and characterristics of Mennipean satiric mode, So, the more complicated of complex a literary text is, the more noisy in it with a lump of information in it is.
